The Curator: 13 best women’s swimsuits to shop in 2026

Finding the perfect swimsuit for a sunny escape can be a daunting task, but a new selection aims to simplify the process. The Curator has compiled a list of 13 women's swimsuits for 2026, catering to diverse styles and comfort needs for beach or poolside relaxation.

The curated collection features a range of options, from retro-inspired one-pieces like the La Vie en Rose design to modern, functional choices. Shoppers can find suits with built-in leak-proof protection, such as a design by Knix, offering peace of mind for swimming and lounging. Other highlights include shapewear-inspired bottoms from Spanx, promising a sleek silhouette.

Style diversity is evident, with options like a triangle-cut animal-print bikini for a bold statement, and a pink suit with UPF 50+ fabric for sun protection. Practicality meets fashion in a long-sleeve rash guard one-piece with a palm tree pattern, and a high-cut bikini offering cheeky coverage. For those seeking a vintage vibe, a gingham one-piece offers a slimming effect, while a scalloped-trim black suit adds a touch of sexiness.

Further options include a versatile tankini designed for both style and support, a high-cut silhouette with removable straps, and a supportive sports suit ideal for active beachgoers. The list also showcases a sparkly, long-torso suit for sculpting effects and high-waisted bottoms with tummy control for a smooth finish. Many of these selections are noted for their flattering designs and, in some cases, sustainable materials.
